 Hon Fidel Odiase A pan Esan social cultural Organization leader, has condemned the  kidnapping and recent attacks on travelers along Edo State highway. 

A statement issued yesterday by Hon Fidel described the killings that has creeped into the state as worrisome just as he condoled with the families of the deceased.The unfortunate occurrences are really shocking and highly condemnable. This indicates a clear departure from the culture and tradition of brotherhood and communal living enjoyed from generation to generation.

There can be no justification for taking the life of another being, as such, no effort should be spared in pursuing the full course of justice. I commiserate with, and express my deep condolences to the bereaved families and communities. I pray to God to comfort them and give them strength at these low times. May God have mercy on the souls of the departed and grant them eternal rest.

“I wish to appeal strongly to the conscience and reasoning of everyone who harbour violent tendencies to have a rethink and purge themselves of such, as violence in any form has never settled any issue. Violence leaves in its trail, destruction, pains and sorrow. It is unfortunate that this is happening at a time when humanity is facing the worst crisis of survival, too many lives are lost on a daily basis due to multiple causes yet we still can unnecessarily and deliberately waste human lives by our own hands.

Hon Fidel Odiase urged the state police commissioner and other security agencies to carry out a thorough investigation and arrest the people behind the  atrocities. He also urge the  families and those who have information to support  the investigations into the killings.

 Hon Fidel Odiase.
